Members of this community ~ Palestinians, Israelis, Muslims, Jews, Christians and others ~ raise a call for peace.

We believe:

No more war, no more bloodshed! We are not enemies.

We believe all people should be allowed to live in peace and security

We believe in dialogue, coexistence, mutual respect, understanding, and friendship

We believe both sides must stop all acts of violence

We believe that the path of violence is not the answertoo many people have been killed needlessly from both sides of the conflict

We believe peace is possible and the only just resolution

We believe the occupation must end

We believe in a two-state solution for our two peoples, each living in secure and recognized borders that are determined through dialogue and negotiations only

Through friendship, understanding, conflict resolution and mutual respect we may give our children a world worthy of the innocence and beauty with which they were created, one and all. We are asking all leaders to “give peace a chance.” Please write your senators, representatives, the president, and other international leaders.

Organized by the Eugene Middle East Peace Group, consisting of Arabs and Jews, including Palestinians and Israelis, and others meeting regularly to celebrate our commonalities, learn from our differences, build trust and friendship.
